3. The usage of tools in an efficient manner.
4. Agile Testing - Benefits in Scrum Project
5. Cloud Based Testing (TaaS)

I also gave a short demo on Automating "RVS college of Engineering"  website using Selenium WebDriver.  In addition to that I gave a demo on Android emulator. Past that,  there was a Q&A session, Students were asking questions on Software Testing.  Questions were answered and I got good feedback from faculty members and students.

One of my senior managers  from my Organisation recognized this contribution and awarded me with "Feather in my Cap" award and  I conveyed my sincere "Thanks"  to that Senior Manager.
